US Highway System

US Highway System

 
You could think that US Highway System is an obsolete with the Interstate System. But especially in the Midwest and the South, a lot of the roads are designated US Highways rather then state highways.
 
Not that there is much of a difference, many US Highways are two-lanes at-grade and are maintained by state DOTs. In recent decades, funding is not based on US Highway designation but another set of designations on whether or not a road is an arterial highway. California and New York have a notable lack of US Highways.

 

West Sand Lake Gravel Mine

I was looking east from Wolf Hill noticing a bunch of denuded land. I thought it was a farm field but I think it's the West Sand Lake Gravel Mine.

Another fun little video from the Gas Up a few weeks back.
